Upstate NY angler breaks state fishing record for a white catfish An Albany County man recently broke the state fishing record for a white catfish.
Chris Brockett, of Loudonville, caught the state-record fish – which looks like a cross between a channel catfish and a bullhead – in the Mohawk River on Aug. 22. It weighed 12 pounds and was 30.5 inches long. He caught it using cut bait.
